I will start sharing some ideas I had while working on this:

• Elevator controller - A Touch App that automatically detects other LCDs on the same grid running the same App. It would know what level it is based on that. It would have buttons for calling the elevator, and display which level the elevator is. Minimal setup required from the player, just indicate which piston or group of pistons are handling the elevator cart. Still need to think more details.
  
• Grid Weapon Status - A Touch App that would check all weapons of the grid and display on screen the damage, ammunition count, health, range, etc. Maybe an option to automatically put more ammunition to production, or make it a button triggered by the player.
  
• Server voting system - A Touch App that a server admin can add some question to be voted by players anonymously. Each player can vote only once, and the admin can set a time that the pool would be open. The results can be presented at the end, or with a possibility to be shown during it is open.

LCD button panel, so we can have touchscreen buttons

LCD button panel, basically a button panel, but lcd version

your TouchScreenAPI is amazing, definitely a massive game changer in my opinion.
here is an idea that i have for an app:
- Light Controll App (for turning on and off light groups and adjusting their properties)
perhaps this could be turned into a general control app, for turning on and off things, adjusting their properties and displaying their status alongside it

Alot of us have our own set of button actions that dont normally fit into the category of a certain app. It would be nice if there was an app in which the user, in game, could map their own menus, buttons, and other elements.

The most similar example I know is this OS script:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2271994436&searchtext=sds+os

Fire Control System.

LAUNCH THE MISSILE!

Shield control:
Shunting
Fortify
Station the grid and power up a station shield
Enhance Structural Integrity

Weapon Control:
Weapon Groups On / Off
Weapon Group Control -> Click a Weapon Group to get an Expanded list from the weapon API like:
Target Neutural
Repel Mode
Target Biologicals
Rate of Fire etc.

Inventory Management:
Interface with Igy to prioritize production
Prioritize refining of a specific ore

Group Management
Grab Groups and their available commands to a second LCD

Projector/Shield/Build and Repair field movement: Easy align projections /build areas etc

I think touchscreens for PAM and SAM would be great. For SAM, have buttons for different destinations which would make shuttles that much better. Click -> Go To Base!

As I posted on the mod page...a numerical keyboard for an LCD to password lock a ship. Also someone posted LCD buttons already, so I would say maybe more interaction with control panels on things like reactors. idek if this is possible but sending messages via touch lcd from like station to station would be kinda cool.....or screen to screen. I also was checking out your electrical monitor system, fairly impressive idea...maybe something like that for hydrogen?

Not sure if its possible because I believe jumps can only be initiated but a script for jump drives that shows current charge and options for selecting coordinates. I like doing blind jumps towards planets to get as close to the grav field as possible, not sure if there would be a way for it to calculate distance to get close to the grav field on the jump.

Totally doable, I have an idea of "3D space viewer" and this can be a feature inside it. Since my whole idea has some other things this can take some time to be done.

My "favorite" idea is still the button pad, and that can be adjusted to many other things later. Once I have a break on other priorities I will definitely take a look at the button actions thing.

That would require a lot of support from or to be done by the owners of the said scripts.

Every idea here is just great, I hope someone besides me give some of these a chance. As I said before I'm avoiding huge Apps like inventory management for now, but I would help and support any modder that decides to start it.

Nice, I remember this one but was a long time ago. I will take another look to see the features again. Definitely something that would be amazing with touchscreen.

Yes! +1 for Button Panels!!! #soon™

Thanks for all the guys that suggested the Button Panel App. I just released it https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2933676834

Pin pad for door access or timer trigger

Pin pad for door access or timer trigger

this would be AMAZING! would love to make private areas accessible via codes

Hi,
great work for touch apps

Some ideas :
"SDS Operatinal Script" +1: build a custom app from the configuration contained in CUSTOM DATA of the LCD.
Like this, each player builds his application that meets his needs.
it could also federated all apps -> one LCD to rule them all

"Sorter Management": To declare and update a sorting list
it is painful.with the GUI
an ore sorter should only have the list of ores as choice.
